Inflation Reduction Act and Tax Credits for Energy-Efficient Home Improvements

August 20, 2022

If you’re planning a few home improvements that will boost the energy efficiency of your house, you may save some money on your projects now that the Inflation Reduction Act has been signed into law. One of the bill’s main goals is to address climate change and slow down global warming. And while the legislation primarily helps businesses adopt more eco-friendly measures and jump-start clean energy production, there are incentives for ordinary Americans to go green and save some green, too.

For example, homeowners can cut their tax bill even more if they install new energy-efficient windows, doors, water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners, and the like. That’s because the legislation extends and enhances two tax credits that reward “green” upgrades to your home. There are also new tax breaks for the purchase of electric vehicles…and a revived tax break for installing EV recharging equipment at home. Low- and moderate-income families

A Victorian Country Home in Middleburg’s Historic Unison Village

August 17, 2022

This updated vintage house provides a tasteful glimpse of 19th-century design.

By Maggie Roth August 16, 2022

In Middleburg’s historic Unison village, 21091 Unison Road is a prime example of a property that has maintained its historic charm throughout the decades without becoming outdated. The 1820 house — also known as “Glatton Folly” — is full of unique details that show off its 19th-century origins, including four fireplaces and two wood-burning stoves that keep the inside cozy. Even with all that antique appeal, updates to the kitchen and bathrooms ensure that the place is in working order — so the new owners can experience the look of the Victorian era without sacrificing the comforts of 21st-century life.

The home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, coming in at nearly 2,600 square feet. The current list price is $895,000.

A Four-Bedroom Home Outside the Cathedral City of Wells

$2.9 MILLION (2.4 MILLION BRITISH POUNDS)

Built on the footprint of a former agricultural building, this 4,170-square-foot contemporary house sits on four acres in Binegar, a tiny village in the Mendip Hills, five miles east of the cathedral city of Wells in England’s South West region.

The home sprawls across a single level, with living areas and bedrooms in an open plan beneath skylights. “It’s very unusual to have a house of this size with such a modern approach, since most homes in this area are more period or traditional,” said Lucy Drane, a senior appraisals specialist at The Modern Housethe listing broker.

The sellers, Katherine and Geoff Ladd, worked with the Bath architect Michael Williams “to keep the palette of materials really simple, including wood and microcement,” Ms. Drane said. After a year of construction, the couple moved into
